I cracked the roof vent open and a side window to let the unit air out. I'm wondering if I left some food somewhere inside the unit because there was a strange smell.
My granddaughter's school sold bags of onions for a fund raiser and her mother left a load of them in my van overnight for delivery the next day. When I got the van back it didn't smell too good so my DW put a tray of used coffee grounds in it overnight and the smell was replaced by that of used coffee grounds. It's OK but I prefer the aroma of fresh coffee. 
BTW, if you know someone with a pet Yorkie, let it loose in the RV and it will find where the smell is coming from if the source is animal.

If you have not been using it dump a cup or two of water in each drain. sinks ect. Odds are they are dry and you smell the holding tanks..

I glued some side molding where it was coming loose. I put a new air cleaner on my Onan generator then ran it. I mounted my 19" flat screen TV. I changed all 4 shock absorbers.

I went out & exercised the generator, turned the AC on & watch the hockey game, & replaced a broked day/night shade hold down. Took the little fur kid out there, he must have thought he was camping, cause he didn't want to leave the rv.

Hi,
Thanks for the advice on the drains--however I just got home from a trip--so the traps are likely all full--but come to think of it I did not use the wash stand in the commode area.

I cleaned the outside of my MH with Bar keepers friend and a white 3M scrubbing pad in preperation for coating it with Red Max Pro. I hope it doesn't rain and is warm enough to complete the job tomorrow.

I upgraded my headlights and fixed a wiring problem in my blinker / parking lap circuit. I repaired some broken plastic pieces in the front grill. I wired the TV then washed all the screens and windows.

Great - the hardest part is done Don't forget to wash the rig with detergent (I like Dawn) to get all of the cleanser off before applying RMP after everything dries.
When you apply the second coat of RMP you will start to see a change and the 3rd coat will be magical. I wanted to put on 4 coats but actually lost count and may have stopped on the third. 
Later you will find that bugs and bird poop rinse right off with the garden hose. I don't know what's with Lowe's but they stopped selling the RMP line.
